Great Weekend Getaway!
We booked a last-minute weekend trip to this peaceful cabin and did not regret it one bit! Kelly's cabin was perfect for a cozy and secluded weekend in the mountains. Kitchen was stocked with EVERYTHING you could possibly think of- I was able to make a warm stew in her crockpot for dinner. 10/10 stay, we will be back again!

Property was clean and well put together, good location with neighbors spaced out on the hill. Communication with host was easy and quick, cabin was enough space for three adults. Access to the shed, table and grill to hang out was a plus. Would recommend!

Cool, quiet, peaceful, lovely
We needed a break from the extreme heat of summer, and stress of all the political stuff going on. This was the perfect choice! The cabin was just right for the two of us, had everything we needed to enjoy several days in the cool pines and relax! Saw lots of birds and a deer. The trail nearby is a little rough for old folks, but we enjoyed several walks through the forest. Cloudcroft is a welcoming village and has a lot to offer. This little "tree house" in the woods is a perfect choice to enjoy all the high mountains have to offer. We'll definitely be back! Thanks so much!

Lovely place to stay in the mountains and be cool! Great host clean property. Only drawback - the stairs to the loft which was adorable but just kinda hard if you’re 70+! We were aware of it and managed fine just not ideal Despite that would return again because a nice spot

What a wonderful week! Everything was perfect. Part of my family rented another larger place in town and my two adult nieces and I stayed at "peace and quiet". Everyone who saw "peace and quiet" immediately fell in love with the setting and the perfect little cabin. Kelly is a wonderful host.

Wonderful cozy cabin in a beautiful private spot
We enjoyed our stay here so very much. The cabin is so cute and cozy. The host has gone to unusual lengths to make it cute and comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped to cook any simple meal. We brought two ATVs There was ample room to park our truck & trailer. There is a wonderful ATV trail right beside the cabin. We had so much fun riding & hiking in the beautiful forrest. We also had a campfire. It is an easy drive to Cloudcroft to shop or eat. Also White Sands is an easy & interesting drive. The bedrooms are upstairs and you have to climb a ladder. My husband and I are both in our 70s. So climbing down the ladder in the middle of the night to potty was not our favorite part. But the two 15 year old granddaughters loved the loft. If you want a beautiful secluded spot with lots of piece and quiet it is perfect.

Peaceful forest retreat
This cabin was a perfect escape from the heat! It’s small but had everything we needed for a comfortable 4 night stay. We liked that it was a little ways away from downtown Cloudcroft (about 10 minute scenic drive away). It felt secluded but was still close to trails and shopping.

Perfect Peace & Quiet
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Peace & Quiet cabin! It was exactly what we wanted. Our host was great! The cabin itself was everything we needed, and the surrounding property is gorgeous. The trails within steps of the cabin are beautiful. We took a drive over to Russian Canyon to hike in that area as well. Equally beautiful. Five star stay!

Great time in Cloudcroft
We really enjoyed our stay at Peace and Quiet outside of Cloudcroft! The cabin is cozy but very efficient with space, and decorated impeccably. The setting was very relaxing and very quiet. The trailhead nearby was very nice and we enjoyed a nice stroll through the tall trees. We saw elk on several occasions. We had no trouble getting to the cabin but you might want a truck or SUV if it is rainy or snowy.

An adventure!
The Peace & Quiet Cabin was wonderful! We saw wildlife and beautiful birds, but were ok with not seeing any bears. It was so very relaxing even though there was a major issue going on for most of our stay (which was totally out of the hosts' control). Our host, Kelly was so wonderful. She kept us updated on what was going on the whole time, and compensated us very fairly! We understood it was something that was a rare occurrence and there were plans already underway to prevent a future occurrence. We also had our dog Lizzy with us and she loved it too. We didn't have any young children with us but were pleasantly surprised to see that there were lots of entertaining games/toys for them. Kelly really thought of all the 'little things' that may be needed during a stay. Cloudcroft is a beautiful town and The Peace & Quiet Cabin is a wonderful place to stay when visiting! Thank you Kelly! Hope to be back!

Family Vacation June 2024
My husband, 1 year old daughter, and I stayed at the Peace & Quiet Cabin for 4 nights. We absolutely loved the coziness of the cabin and being off the beaten path tucked into the National Forest. We saw many elk around the cabin as well as a black bear (this is what we hoped to see). Coming from the South Texas heat we thoroughly enjoyed the cool temps under the massive pine trees. We will definitely return to this cabin in the years to come. Kelly was an amazing host who kept in contact with me and made sure we had everything we needed. By the far the best experience we have had with a VRBO host/rental property. 10/10 recommended staying at the peace & quiet cabin.

Great secluded property!
Perfectly getaway spot. It is extremely quiet and secluded. We loved the real cabin feel yet it has all the amenities we could want. An added plus is NO TV! There was very high speed Internet if you need it as well. Will stay again for sure!

Cabin Getaway
Darling little cabin tucked in the woods! Stayed for a long weekend and were able to shop, eat, hike and explore nearby White Sands very easily. Cloudcroft is a tiny little town that’s great for small exploration (definitely check out Noisy Water Winery.. great wine and kind staff) but Alamogordo is within 30min and has all your major shopping/pharmacy/grocery needs. House was stocked well and very clean inside. Note that an SUV or tough little sedan is ideal for getting up the steep and slightly muddy street leading to the house…and the house is further up than your map will lead you to. Kelly was easy to communicate with and was helpful start to end of the trip.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay in this cozy little cabin. Not only is there a hiking trailhead about 50 feet away, but there are many other trailheads that are not far from this location (driving distance). We liked being surrounded by pine trees and enjoyed the quiet. We hope to be back!

Quiet like we wanted
Just what we wanted in a cabin. So quiet and peaceful. Perfect for couples or small families 2 kids or less. Kelly put a Christmas tree in which was perfect for putting our kids presents under. So close to a hiking trail! The only thing I could say is maybe add a sign on a tree stating the cabins name with an arrow pointing. If we would have arrived after dark we would not have been able to find it. I was able to recognize the cabin from pictures once we pulled up far enough. I would definitely stay again though :)
